The directors present their report with the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2011.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company in the year under review continued to be the making of benevolent
and other grants and the funding of special initiatives to further social justice objectives. Income from fixed
asset investments amounted to £320,000 (2010 - £248,000). The company made grants and funded special
initiatives to the value of £175,000 (2010 - £117,000) in the period. The company made a donation to the
Barrow Cadbury Trust of £2,161,000 (2010 - £0).
Review of business and future developments
A summary of the period’s results, which the directors consider to be satisfactory, is given on page 6 of the
accounts. No changes are foreseen to the principal activity of the company.
Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the directors’ report and the financial statements in accordance
with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law
the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under
company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the profit or loss of the company for that
period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
that the company will continue in operation.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and
explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position
of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act
2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information
included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and
dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Each of the directors confirms that to the best of his/her knowledge there is no information relevant to the
audit of which the auditors are unaware. Each of the directors also confirms that he/she has taken all
necessary steps to ensure that he/she is aware of all relevant audit information and that this information
has been communicated to the auditors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BARROW CADBURY FUND We have audited the financial statements of The Barrow Cadbury Fund for the year ended 31 March 2011 which comprise the income and expenditure account, balance sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). This report is made solely to the company's members as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors As explained more fully in statement of the directors’ responsibilities set out in the report of the directors, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the audit of the financial statements An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the report of the directors to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
Opinion on financial statements In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 March 2011 and of its results for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Catherine L Sayer (Senior statutory auditor) Date

1 Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of
investments at market value, and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the accounts are presented in a modified format as the
directors believe that this gives a true and fair view of the Company's activities.
(b) Cash flow
The accounts do not include a cash flow statement because the company, as a small reporting entity, is
exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under Financial Reporting Standard 1 “Cash
flow statements”.
(c) Income
Investment income is included in the income and expenditure account when receivable and is stated
net of irrecoverable tax credits.
(d) Grants
Grants payable are included in the income and expenditure account when approved and when the
intended recipient has either received the funds or been informed of the decision to make the grant and
has satisfied all related conditions. Grants where the beneficiary has not been informed or has to meet
certain conditions before the grant is released are not accrued for but are noted as financial
commitments in the notes to the accounts.
(e) Fixed asset investments
Investments are included in the accounts at their market value as at the balance sheet date.
Gains (or losses) on sales of investments during the period, calculated as the sale proceeds less the
market value at the start of the period or cost, if later, are credited (or debited) to the income and
expenditure account.
Unrealised gains (or losses) arising in the period are credited (or debited) to the statement of total
recognised gains and losses.
The reported surplus (or deficit) on ordinary activities is adjusted for the realisation of prior period
gains (or losses) on investments to arrive at the historical cost surplus (or deficit) for the period.
(f) Deferred taxation
No provision is required in respect of timing differences. No provision is made for the potential
l iability to taxation relating to investment revaluation surpluses as the company adopts the strategy of
gift aiding amounts to the Barrow Cadbury Trust in order to substantially mitigate any tax liabilities
arising.
